⚠️ IMPORTANT WARNING:

• While this is an uncirculated coin sourced directly from a security roll, it is not guaranteed to be in flawless grade.
• As these coins were struck on high-speed production presses and stored in bulk rolls, individual specimens may exhibit standard "bag marks," small nicks, contact chatter, or surface scuffing from contact with other coins during the minting and rolling process.
• These marks are a natural result of the mass-production process for circulating commemoratives.
